The original draft of this script, so far as I know -I haven't seen the film, but I read the synopsis and it does seem some key changes were made by William Friedkin.
It's a perfectly decent thriller, albeit very similar to Basic Instinct and Jagged Edge which is presumably why it sold for so much money. The star part is a prosecutor involved in the investigation of a series of violent murders. He's in love with the chief suspect, a beautiful, sexy woman who loves sex... Katrina who turns out to be a prostitute called Jade, married to the lead's friend, Matt. There's a support red herring, we're never sure if the girl did it or not til the end... when it's revealed it was the husband. Which is fine.
It's got twists, a lot of harsh language, and sex. Friedkin should have shot the script but I think the bigger problem is no one got too excited about the star combo: David Caruso, Linda Fiorentino and Chazz Palmenteri, all very good actors, but were a bit "B" team. (I get why all where cast, they were all cresting).
